1 | What is Free Will? | Bible general Archive 1 | Lionstrong | 34456 | ||
Greetings Tim! You write: "I may be influenced by my evioroment, by my peers, by my family, by God. But, the choice is mine!" When you say, "the choice is mine," do you mean that you are totally free to choose against any those influences? If not you are not free to choose against the influences; how, then, is the choice free? Peace, Lionstrong |

2 | What is Free Will? | Bible general Archive 1 | Morant61 | 34487 | ||
Greetings Lionstrong! When it comes to moral choices, yes I am free to choose against these influences. For instance, my father was an extremely jealous person. I saw the way he treated my mother. I had two choices. I could grow up to be like my father, or I could choose a different path. I choose a different path. Growing up, I had many peers who did drugs and alcohol. I choose not to use those things. Now, I don't believe in what some call abosolute freedom. There are limiting factors. For instance, I can't choose to be taller than I am. I can't choose my race. I can't choose to eliminate hell. But, within those sorts of constraints, I am free to make moral decisions. By the way, you've been putting all of the pressure on others! :-) How do you define man's will? Is he free or not? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
